Strength- Studies we’re field experiments, high ecological validity. Limitation- Inference is only temporary. Cues a more accurate reason for forgetting. Inference only works when there are no cues.
RETRIEVAL FAILURE
Strength- Real world application. Strategies can be made to help us remember more information in our everyday lives. Limitations- Only affects recall but not recognition. Baddeley redid underwater study found no difference between conditions.
MISLEADING INFORMATION (EWT)
Strength- Real world application, can help improve EWT ( however based off a lab study). Limitation- Yuille did an experiment on a real life crime and found that EWT was more accurate.
ANXIETY (EWT)
Limitation - Surprise not anxiety? Pickel - raw chicken in hairdresser. Found recall was worse because it was random. Limitations- ethical issues. Limitation - contradictory evidence. Yuille and Cutshall
